My 7 year old daughter is having a weird pain that started…

Customer Question

Thank you. My 7...

Thank you. My 7 year old daughter is having a weird pain that started in her shoulder last night but now it is in mid bicept. It comes in for 3 to 4 minutes or sometimes like 15 minutes but then goes away. It is her right arm. She says when it comes on it really hurts. I had the same issue about 6 months ago. Should I take her in now or can she wait til tomorrow

Doctor's Assistant: What seems to make the symptoms worse or better? In general, how would you describe your health lately?

Great except she had strep throat right now. She is on antibiotics. And it is coming and going randomly like every half hour or so the pain comes on.

If she looks well and is able to function fine otherwise I have no reason to suspect anything dangerous or imminent that would require her to get seen right away. I suspect it's a spasm, that's exactly how spasms present in younger children. I think it would be perfectly fine to wait it out and see how things progress.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

What Customers are Saying:

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

I thank-you so much! It really helped to have this information and
confirmation. We will watch her carefully and get her in for the
examination and US right away if things do not improve. God bless you as
well!

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.

I have been dealing with an extremely serious health crisis for over three years, and one your physicians asked me more questions, gave me more answers and encouragement than a dozen different doctors who have been treating me!!
